I'm planning on Cleaning up my engine bay, was wondering if you guys had like a place you always order all your lines hoses and fittings from? I'm looking into using the clear PVC hose

something like this. Also looking to get translucent flex tubing for miscellaneous things such as overflow tank and reservoirs.

Ok cool guy, Are you telling me companies that construct hose and lines make clear lines differently from colored lines? I don't think so, Don't chime in unless you know wtf you are talking about. PVC hose is commonly used in race applications, I guess you'd prefer people use color matched hoses to resemble the exterior color of the car?

Pretty sure the line running from the cam cover to the reservoir on the right hand side is clear PVC line fool.

There no places local to you?

Baker precision is local to me so i buy from them. Not sure if they carry clear though.

To my knowledge I don't believe so, I've only lived in my current area for a month+. Thanks for the info though I've heard of baker before but I forgot about them.

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. I wasn't sure if the stuff at lowes and home depot had a high enough temp threshold.
